Clear management structure and praising staff more regularly are key to improving productivity and efficiency in the leisure industry according to new research by NOP World. People and Productivity, a survey commissioned by Investors in People UK to mark its 10th anniversary, interviewed 1,568 UK employers across a range of sectors. Leisure employers said implementing a learning strategy, investing in staff development and establishing a good training programme were crucial to increasing productivity. Around sixteen per cent said that the biggest negative effect on employee productivity in leisure was the lack of training. The Investors in People Standard was developed in 1990 and 24,259 organisations have achieved recognition under the scheme to date.
